Introducing Moxy: Carbon Monoxide Detection, Delivered Directly to Your Headset

At Pooleys Flight Equipment, we are always looking for products that genuinely improve safety in the cockpit. Moxy is one of those products.

We are preparing to introduce this innovative carbon monoxide detector to our range, with pre-orders opening soon ahead of UK availability.

A Smarter Approach to CO Detection in Flight

Carbon monoxide remains one of the most serious and often overlooked risks in light aircraft. Cabin heating systems can allow exhaust gases to enter the cockpit environment, and the effects are not always immediately obvious to pilots.

Moxy has been designed specifically to tackle this issue in a way traditional detectors simply do not.

Instead of relying solely on audible alarms that can be missed when wearing a headset, Moxy delivers clear, spoken alerts directly into your headset, ensuring you hear critical warnings exactly when you need them.

Clear Instructions When It Matters Most

One of the standout features of Moxy is not just that it alerts you, but how it does it.

When elevated carbon monoxide levels are detected, Moxy provides direct voice instructions such as:

“Turn off heating”
“Open window”
“Divert”

This removes ambiguity and reduces pilot workload during high-pressure situations, helping you take immediate, appropriate action.

Designed for the Cockpit Environment

Moxy integrates seamlessly into your existing setup by sitting inline between your headset and the aircraft audio panel.

This means:

No complicated installation
No additional cockpit clutter
No reliance on external speakers

Alongside voice alerts, a simple LED system provides clear visual indication of CO levels:

Green: Normal operation
Yellow: Caution
Red: Alarm

Intelligent Alert System

The system escalates warnings based on detected carbon monoxide levels and exposure time.

According to the manual, for example:

Moderate levels trigger advisory alerts such as “Turn off heating, open window”
Higher concentrations escalate to urgent instructions including “Divert”

This tiered approach ensures you are not overwhelmed with unnecessary alarms, but still fully protected when it counts.

Built for Reliability

Moxy is powered by a user-replaceable 9V battery, offering a minimum of 200 hours of operation.

It uses an electrochemical sensor designed for accuracy and reliability, and operates across a wide range of cockpit conditions, making it suitable for everyday GA flying.
